zerosharp VS Ryujinx

Not sure why you would want to use C# without it’s open source framework but here it is: https://github.com/MichalStrehovsky/zerosharp

C# without .NET is like C without glibc. Possible but you'll need another core library. For C# that would be something like Mono or ZeroSharp.

NativeAOT definetely can do bare metal, here's an example of a very basic EFI boot application:

Here's one example repo that uses that feature if you are interested: https://github.com/MichalStrehovsky/zerosharp

This is false. You can even make UEFI application in C#

check https://github.com/MichalStrehovsky/zerosharp/tree/master/efi-no-runtime

Kind of. There's https://github.com/MichalStrehovsky/zerosharp demonstrating some bare metal capabilities.

Their C# JIT [1] generates x86_64 or ARM native code. This is why it's fast.

This isn't true anymore. It was their first approach, but since then they have switched to their own JIT recompiler. You can read their rationale here: https://github.com/Ryujinx/Ryujinx/pull/693

For the MacOS port, they explain in the blog post you linked that they use an hypervisor, meaning the original game binary runs untranslated. (with the option to use an ARM-to-ARM JIT)

Thanks for the guide. I am new to Ryujinx, but is there a version that runs Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak? I searched on reddit and github but I got lost on the part where gdkchan tried to solve the issue here. Maybe it doesn't work on Mac?

Same as previous post. Latest version did change things related to hashing https://github.com/Ryujinx/Ryujinx/commit/58907e2c290473326e5ab74bdfe1429b8a518ba4 so probably bug?

Did you try the build in here: https://github.com/Ryujinx/Ryujinx/pull/4899

As it’s emulator, you can’t be sure about games performance as a whole. Some perform better, some - worse, some won’t run at all. You can have a quick look at this video for example https://youtu.be/9XyjErqV3pI Then you should check if the games you’re interested in are considered playable https://github.com/Ryujinx/Ryujinx/wiki/ Actually, there is another one emulator Yuzu and some games may perform better with it. BTW I have a bit better 5500u processor with 16 dual-channel. It performs quite well even with aaa games till 2020. But there are also so many good old games :) Currently I’m playing Warcraft 3 and it still looks and plays very well.
